Volunteer: December Mālama nā Ko‘olau Day at Ala Mahamoe

Special Mālama Nā Ko‘olau Community Day
Clearing invasive species and caring for the Ala Mahamoe Dryland Forest Restoration Site
-- Saturday, December 13th --
**The deadline to turn in volunteer applications and complete your RSVPs is, Tuesday, December 2nd**

Who: This event is for anyone who is interested in learning and spending some time showing their aloha while they help us restore this site. We welcome volunteers of all ages and ability levels, but only registered KMWP volunteers can join the event. You must turn in registration forms by December 2nd to be eligible.

* We have 25 spots open for volunteers on a first come first serve basis, any additional volunteers who sign up will be placed on a waiting list.

Where: Park along the main road across from the Ala Mahamoe gate and walk to the site. Please be considerate of residents, do not block their driveways. Also, try to limit the number of cars taking up street parking, consider carpooling with a friend.

When: Meet at the gate at 8:45am for check-ins, after a quick walk to the worksite the volunteer activity will go from 9:00am -12:00pm

What: This service-learning day will be focused on invasive species removal to protect the growing native forest, there may be some planting as well as some seed collection and brush clearing.

Why: This site gives participants a special chance to try their hand at dryland forest restoration. It shows how an invasive dominated forest with a high fire risk can be shifted through volunteer time and work to become a healthier native dominated habitat that would serve as a protective green break. It is used as a teaching tool by our organization as well as community partners like a kumu la’au lapa’au (hawaiian medicine teacher). People from keiki to kupuna go there for visits and service-learning opportunities. The area gives them a chance to connect with all of these beautiful native species and a few Polynesian introductions too.

Here is a little breakdown of how these Mālama Nā Koʻolau (MNK) service learning events work:

We will host at least 1 volunteer day each month at our various restoration sites and rotate locations so that everyone in the program has a chance to visit each of the sites. These events will be for a maximum of 25 people at any site and reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Check-ins will generally be around 8:30am and the restoration activities will go from about 9am-12pm. The regular restoration sites include: the Pali Lookout Garden, Ala Mahamoe in Moanalua Valley, Mānoa cliffs, Waiʻalae Nui at Wiliwilinui Trail, and Waihe‘e Valley. To join these events, you must be registered with KMWP as a Mālama Nā Koʻolau Volunteer and have your application turned in at least 3 weeks before any event. Here is a link to a folder with the Volunteer Application Forms, examples of correctly filled forms, and instructions. Please read the instructions before filling the application. Incorrectly and/or incompletely filled applications will be flagged and rejected. Send completed forms to koolaupartnership@gmail.com. Be sure to include the event and date you are RSVP’ing for. Once you have turned in your application and it is accepted, it will be good until December 31st of that year. You do not need to fill out another application for Mālama Nā Koʻolau events until January of the following year. Registered volunteers who want to join an event can RSVP via email. Some sites require extra waivers, those will be sent as needed to participants. If you visit all 5 of the regular sites, then you will be eligible for an invitation to special Mālama Nā Koʻolau events to be announced. When we have built up a larger group of volunteers who have visited all 5 of our main sites, we will schedule a special event day at one of our elite sites. We are looking at some time in May or June for that special event, so be sure to come to the upcoming events at any sites you may have missed.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We will be holding these Mālama Nā Koʻolau service-learning events at least once a month for the rest of the year, but if you miss one, and want to help in a particular site, or just want to do a service day, then we can set up exclusive volunteer days in any of our main restoration sites. If you have the volunteer group, then we can arrange the location.

We also have the option for people to set up group events through the Mālama Nā Koʻolau (MNK) program, this allows us to open up more group opportunities across our range of sites. The way that it works is a group gets their members registered as MNK volunteers. Then these groups can set up workdays at any of the 5 main restoration sites (Pali, Waihe’e, Ala Mahamoe, Mānoa Cliffs, and WiliwiliNui trail).

The limitations to this option are:the group size can be no larger than 25,all applications expire in December,we need to follow the 9am-12pm set schedule,and the events are not exclusive.The upsides to this option are:It allows groups to go to multiple sites and have events without filling out new applications for each one, andThe group members will be registered MNK volunteers so they can join the regular events too.

Volunteer: Exotic Animal Keepers, KONA, Hawaii, Volunteers for exotic animal care.

Kona Animal Sanctuary: Assist with daily exotic animal care. Keepers can come as often as five times a week or as little as twice a week in the morning or afternoon rounds. Morning feeding rounds begin at 8:00 am and end around 11 am. Afternoon rounds begin at 3:30 pm and last until around 5:30. Rain or shine 365 days a week!

Three Ring Ranch loves our volunteers! Have you ever wanted to work with exotic animals? Care for native & endangered species in a sanctuary setting? This may be just the place for you. Like all kinds of critters?- bison, zebra, flamingos, ostrich, chinchillas, owls, monkeys and the list goes on. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer positions ever.  You get to know the critters and they you. You work with a dedicated team of Keepers who treat you like family. 

We are a very tiny facility (five acres) and all our staff are volunteer. I (Executive Director) am here full time and have a group of dedicated volunteers come daily (some several times a week) as keepers. Keepers are people who are trained to feed and care for the animals. There are 0 paid positions and we do not have housing.

Volunteers come up for several months to learn each of the critters before they are able to feed alone and become a Keeper as there are so many different species and it takes quite a while to become skilled at safely caring for them all. Some volunteers chose not to become Keepers but to come up less often and come for project days on an animals enclosure or to help with the day to day handyman type of jobs that always need doing. Our rounds begin at 8:00 am sharp and last 3+ hours. The afternoon rounds begin at 4 pm and last about 1.5 hours. You must be physically fit to be a keeper, yup this is not for anyone with major limitations.

 The animal feed comes in 50lb bags which you do need to be able to move alone. Most of the time there is someone around who is able to lift and haul but you may get asked to do it with another keeper. Yes you get dirty! You are never asked to do something you are uncomfortable with and never asked to do anything unsafe. We expect our volunteers to be careful and safe for other humans and the critters.

 This is a learning experience and you have to focus and pay attention. At first there is a huge amount of information to process but over time it all comes around. We know it feels like your brain will explode and we don't want that to happen so we take it slow. Everyone learns at their own pace, you do need a minimum of 3 days a week to train. Three-four x a week is better while training. We have to know you will be staying in Kona for 90 days or more to devote the time to training you. If you will be in town for a shorter period we welcome you as an "irregular". Please see other opportunities posted for areas we can use short time help. 

 You need to live in or near Kona to be a volunteer, it just does not work to drive over from Hilo or Kau. Some volunteers come for only a few months or move here to gain the experience while working elsewhere so they can get into school. Volunteers are at least 17 years old for liability reasons. We do not have residential lodging for volunteers other than a resident Keeper position or for those in our international,  pre-vet or vet summer programs. See the Residential Keeper listing and education pages of our web site for more details on those programs. https://threeringranch.org

 Many volunteers are working at regular jobs and come volunteer during spare time just to enjoy the animals or to get this type of work experience on a resume for a later date. For some it is just a chance to spend a few hours on a regular basis with animals in a place where their health and wellbeing come first. Couples are great volunteer teams! We do love our regular staff who are retired and have that extra time on their hands.

You can learn more about us at  http://www.threeringranch.org

 

If you live in Kona, have a few days a week to volunteer & want to try or you think that this new residential position sounds like a great opportunity then give me a call at 331-8778 after 6 pm and we can set up a time for a visit. You may also reply to this email.

 All volunteers have signed the volunteer waiver and have proof of insurance prior to orientation. All volunteers are covered at the Sanctuary by a VIS Volunteer Insurance Service policy through the CIMA Company. This policy provides extra accident, liability and auto insurance to our volunteers.

You can learn more about us at  http://www.threeringranch.org

 

If you live in Kona, have a few days a week to volunteer & want to try or you think that this new residential position sounds like a great opportunity then give me a call at 331-8778 after 6 pm and we can set up a time for a visit. You may also reply to this email.

 All volunteers have signed the volunteer waiver and have proof of insurance prior to orientation. All volunteers are covered at the Sanctuary by a VIS Volunteer Insurance Service policy through the CIMA Company. This policy provides extra accident, liability and auto insurance to our volunteers.

Volunteer: Are you READY to make a difference? On Social Media? ~ Help Homeless Children


Aloha,

Are you passionate about making a real impact in your community?
Project Hawai'i, Inc. is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless keiki (children) break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future. And we need your voice to make that happen.

We’re looking for socially conscious individuals — especially those active on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or other platforms — who want to use their voice and creativity to raise awareness about the growing crisis of child homelessness in Hawai‘i.

Most people don’t realize that Hawai‘i ranks #1 in the nation for the highest percentage of homeless children — over 23,000 keiki are affected. Many rely on school lunch as their only meal and safest space during the day.

We believe change starts with awareness, and that’s where you come in. If you’re a student, young professional, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to amplify the voices of those who often go unheard.

Join our volunteer Social Media Awareness Team — help us educate, advocate, and inspire others to take action. Our goal is to build a team of 10 committed volunteers by the end of the month.

Interested? Let’s connect and make a difference — together.

Mahalo for caring,
